TheAcademic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has hit hard as they threaten another National wide strike for October half salaries.

The Union of Universities, ASUU is considering flying back home for another fresh set of the strike.

Things get worse as the Federal Government of Nigeria has breached the agreement they had with the Academic Staff Union of Universities, by paying them half salaries.

This is coming two weeks after the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, called off its eight-month strike.

Recall that the union had called off its eight-month strike on October 14, 2022, after the intervention by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.

The lecturers under the umbrella of ASUU were on Monday bewildered, following the payment of salary for only 18 working days in October to its members by the Federal Government.

Reported has it that the Nigerian government had insisted on implementing the ‘No Work, No Pay’ policy for the period the university workers were away from their duty posts.

However, the Speaker waded into the imbroglio between the Union and the FG after all negotiations had failed.

Within a few days of his mediation, Gbajabiamila was able to negotiate an acceptable agreement between the duo, with a promise to pay the university workers their withheld salaries for the months they didn’t work.

However, things took a new turn on Thursday when feelers came in that the FG didn’t keep to its word, as ASUU members were paid a half month's salary.

A senior member of the ASUU at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, confirmed this development to DAILY POST under confidence.

He noted that the government only paid half salary for October.

“The much I know, those who have called me said they were paid only for eighteen days for October,” he said.

Another academic staff member added: “Yes, I only received 18 working days' salary, that’s what they paid me; my colleague received the same.”

The UNILAG chapter of the union described the development as “insensitive and disheartening” on its Twitter page.

The UNILAG branch chairperson, Dele Ashiru wrote: “The leadership of the union at the national level has been duly informed about this unfortunate development and they are on top of the issue”.

Welcome to a kountree.

They better do
Useless sets of government and lecturers
With no new knowledge to pass
Same old thing yearly

I just dey laugh ASUU.

If they like, they can go on a ONE-YEAR strike.

But they should always remember that NO WORK means NO PAY.

no work no pay is enshrined in our constitution. Is ASUU asking the fg to become lawless ?

ASUU and FG...

Playing chess with people's future

**ASUU never knew that FG manipulated them to go on strike so that they can use their salaries for electoral campaigns.

Now they are now realizing, but guess what, it's too late, they going on strike was their own undoing�

What a world....

The government done tire for their matter

But they should keep their promise

Lol ASUU on the beats. Lol playing with your employer all because you have one small gang.. lecturers go refuse to go on strike even when ASUU declares strike. The moment people start to fall out of gang. People that got nothing to loose.. they are all leaving after the election And maybe show political interest after 8 years then we'd forget their acts.

Don't mind the useless ASUU.

They have been so pampered in the past that they even forgot that there is something such as No work; No pay.

But this present FG wants to remind them of that.
